PUSSELL-HECKLE 
SEED COMPANY 
Mustard 
Culture —Sow seed in any good garden soil early in the spring, in 
rows 2 to 3 feet apart and when well up thin out the plants so as to 
stand 3 to 4 inches apart. By making several sowings a week or so 
apart, the fresh tender leaves may be had throughout the season. Sow 
also in August and September for fall crops, 2 to 3 pounds will plant 
an acre. 
ELEPHANT EAR (Smooth Leaf). (40 days.) This is an excellent variety 
for market and home gardeners. The leaves are smooth, very large, 
tender and succulent. Grows upright and makes a large plant. 
FLORIDA BROAD LEAF (Smooth Leaf). (40 days.) Produces large, light 
green, broad smooth leaves well above the ground. Plants grow 
quickly; upright when young, and spread out with age. More 
easily prepared for the table than the curled sorts. 
CHINESE MAMMOTH (Smooth Leaf). (40 days.) Good quality for salads 
or boiling and remains for use a long time. The quick, almost rank 
growth insures tenderness, mildness and freedom from bitter flavor. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED (Curly-leal). (30 days.) Produces large 
leaves; makes very fine greens; flavor is all that can be desired. 
Sow in February for early spring use. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED LONG STANDING (Curly-Ieaf.) (30 days.) 
1933 All-American selection. A fine strain, stands a long time before 
bolting to seed. Leaves beautifully curled, frilled and crumpled, large 
light green. 
New York Wonderful Lettuce 
Lettuce 
Culture—One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 2 to 3 
pounds wil sow one acre in drills. Sow the seed in 
hotbeds in February or March, transplant into a shel¬ 
tering border with a southern exposure. For succes¬ 
sive crops, sowings may be made in the open ground 
as early as the spring opens and continuing until July. 
Always thin out well, or the plants will not be strong. 
When wanted as a cut salad, sow seed thickly in 
rows or broadcast.

Los Angeles. This is the crisp heading variety grown
